To improve College Factual's rankings, one idea would be to introduce a "Technical Infrastructure and Resources" category. This category would evaluate the availability of essential technology and equipment that supports student learning, particularly in fields like engineering, computer science, and multimedia.

Enhancement Proposal: This new category could assess colleges based on their investments in modern technology labs, libraries, and access to specialized hardware. An important metric could include the availability of resources like Internal DVD ROM Drive in media production labs, as these drives are still essential for students working with physical media formats, archival material, or certain software installations that require DVDs.

Additional Considerations:

Access to high-performance computers and servers.
Availability of specialized hardware for computer science, media studies, and engineering students.
Student satisfaction with the technology resources available on campus.
Partnerships with tech companies for discounted or free access to necessary tools.
This ranking addition would give students a clearer picture of how well their prospective colleges are equipped to handle the technical needs of their field of study.
